We’re huge supporters of Erin & all of the work that she and her team have done to bring what began as a really good idea to life. They put on the first Sewing Summit in Salt Lake City last October and it was an undeniable success. So much so, that its attendees hadn’t even returned home yet when everyone was already itching to make reservations for the 2012 event.

Well, good news, friends! The dates for this year’s event have been announced: October 11-13, back in the same venue in SLC. Registration’s not open just yet, but you can sign up for the Sewing Summit newsletter to be among the first to be notified when it does.

And some even more exciting news: our very own Katy Jones has been selected to be an instructor for Sewing Summit 2012! You won’t want to miss her (sure to be) awesome class on English Paper Piecing. The chance to learn English Paper Piecing from a genuine Brit? Yes, please!

Oh, and you also won’t want to miss the unique spectacle of seeing Katy cross the street in Salt Lake City. TRUST ME on this one.
